Tank T- 34

Monument reminds battles of World War II and indicates breakthrough of Soviet forces. Narva’s tank is the only such memorial, being exhibited in Estonia until this time.

Reviewed By PBTravelstheWorld - Woodinville, United States

T-34 Tank memorial from WWII showing where the Red Army crossed into Estonia in 1944. This medium size tank was one of the mainstays for the Soviet military from 1940's-1960's and some are still in use around the world. Nicely kept memorial and view of the Narva River that separates Estonia from Russia today. In 2019 a movie was made called T-34 and features several of these tanks if you want to see some of what these machines can do.

Swedish Lion

This monument commemorates the success of Karl XII at Narva in 1700 when the Russian forces that had been besieging Narva in the course of the Great Northern War were destroyed. This memorial was a gift from the Kingdom of Sweden to the City of Narva and the statue was a copy of the one that stood in front of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The memorial was destroyed during the Second World War. The Swedish Lion was re-inaugurated on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the battle in 2000. From the memorial you will see a perfect “5-kroon” view of the two fortresses, which is depicted on the back of the 5-kroon note. The letters MDCC stand for 1700. And “Svesia memor” means “Sweden remembers”.
